MUSINGS: Vol. 1

MUSINGS, is a series that Elizabeth began creating in 2009. It is an ongoing series, that includes work both past and present. It incorporates the artist's paintings, photographs and writings.
The series is a reflection of the artist's own musing of images, thoughts, and feelings. Elizabeth feels strongly about creating work that others can immerse themselves in, and have a personal experience with.
MUSINGS inspires thoughts and feelings, it is a doorway to further musing.

I came as an eggshell,
will leave as a salamander.
We are primal results
perpetuating time,
broken and healed,
to be broken and healed.

Shadow of a moon blown cold.
A blue-black iridescence
lingering.
Frosted breath wakes the fragile
vertebrae
encasing possibility.
Creation space
falls deep
to rise spinning.

photography by: Elizabeth Christopher © 2009

***************************************************

Sea-glass memory,
scratch-polished pulled,
into tidal doubt.

Which weighs more,
recollection or wish?

Field of wild
anxious heart,
I am early flowers
caught in an ocean wind.

“Sink deep into the waves.
Shore is bottom.”

Rebirth sleeps in fragile eggs,
coral cradled,
fathoms down.
Stiff feathered wings
desire the sky.

I trust
refraction.

***************************************************

Firmament mother,
I am a child's words
swaddled in earth.

"Ride the river".

Must I drown
to reach the star
you sleep upon?

Earth bound and river led,
I germinate a quiet light
that feeds my soul.

I meditate wings.
